The automotive lending market can be tough. Low approval rates due to high-risk borrower profiles and tight margins make it challenging for lending businesses to grow. As loan volumes decline, revenue takes a hit.
One often-overlooked solution? Co-borrower loans. These can help qualify more borrowers, but there’s a downside: managing these loans involves twice the paperwork and complexity, especially if you’re still relying on spreadsheets.
That’s why we developed Bryt Software’s Co-Borrower Module. It streamlines the entire process, handling the heavy lifting so you can focus on growing your business without being bogged down by administrative tasks.
As you look to boost your automotive loan volume and revenue with co-borrower loans, it’s important to keep an eye out for potential pitfalls in managing them. Let’s dive into some of these common challenges and how you can navigate them effectively.
When multiple borrowers are involved, it’s easy for payment responsibilities to become unclear. If payments fall behind, tracking who is responsible can be a challenge.
Bryt’s platform allows you to clearly assign payment duties to each co-borrower and automatically track their contributions. This ensures everyone is accountable, helping to prevent missed payments and potential defaults.
Communication is crucial in loan management. Misunderstandings can lead to disputes that nobody wants to deal with.
From the beginning, set clear communication channels so both the primary borrower and co-borrower know their responsibilities. Bryt’s automated reminders and notifications can also help keep everyone aligned and informed.
Handling multiple borrowers can quickly become overwhelming without the right tools.
Bryt’s automation features streamline the onboarding process and enhance the efficiency of loan servicing. This results in less paperwork and fewer errors with digital documents, all while ensuring a professional experience for your borrowers.
With Bryt’s ‘Add Contact‘ feature, bringing co-borrowers or guarantors into the fold is a breeze. In just a few clicks, you can easily connect additional contacts to the primary borrower. This makes it simple to manage multiple borrowers under one loan, keeping everything organized and hassle-free.
The Co-Borrower Module gives you flexibility over information sharing. You can choose to turn notifications on or off for each co-borrower, ensuring everyone gets the right updates. Whether it’s a reminder for payments or the latest on loan status, you decide who hears what and when, keeping all parties informed without overwhelming them.
The Bryt Software ecosystem fits effortlessly into your current loan management workflow. It’s built to enhance the borrower experience, making communication more personalized and interactions smoother. This not only lightens the load for your team but also creates a better experience for your borrowers, helping everyone feel more connected throughout the process.
A key metric to gauge the effectiveness of Bryt’s Co-Borrower Module is your loan approval rates. Pay attention to how many additional loans you’re approving since implementing the module.
This data can help you refine your lending criteria and make more informed decisions moving forward.
More approved loans mean more revenue, but it’s important to put some numbers to that impact. Keep an eye on how your loan volume changes after adding co-borrowers and evaluate how that increase is contributing to your revenue growth. Even if your margins are tight, boosting loan origination can result in meaningful financial gains over time.
To really see the difference, compare your revenue before and after you implemented the Co-Borrower Module. This will give you a clearer picture of how it’s affecting your bottom line.
While co-borrowers can boost your loan approvals, they also come with their own set of risks that can impact your default rates. It’s crucial to keep an eye on how this strategy is shaping your overall risk profile. Are co-borrowers actually helping primary borrowers and reducing risk, or are you starting to see an uptick in defaults?
By regularly monitoring your default rates, you can adjust your risk management approach as needed and ensure that your co-borrower strategy is working as intended.
As we look to the future of automotive lending, there’s a lot of growth potential for those willing to embrace the right technology. By using Bryt Software’s Co-Borrower Module, you can open up new avenues to streamline your loan approval process, boost revenue, and build stronger trust with your customers.
